Dolphin crashing a lot

Hi,

Hope this is the right section of the forum to post this in.

I'm having trouble with my Dolphin Emulator in that it crashes very often.

I've played Mario Kart Double Dash and didn't seem to have many problems except the icy course runs at a slow FPS so it seems like its in slow motion.

I've tried to run Sonic and Sega All Star Racing (with EFB copies to RAM so I can see the text in game). The load windows and the menu are really slow (they are faster with EFB to texture but then its really difficult to select which race you want). Dolphin crashes about 2-10s into each race.

Then tried to run Metroid Prime. The game crashes at the end of the introductory video each time (the menu pages all run fine).

I'm wondering if there is any way to get Dolphin to run without crashing on my computer?


My specs are:

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E350
Windows 7 pro x64

Intel i7-3612QM @ 2.1GHz

Intel HD Graphics 4000

DDR3 PC3-12800, DDR3 PC3-14900 (8GB RAM)

Dolphin 3.5 x64

I run at 1,366x768 (which is the resolution of both my laptop and the 32" tv I plug it into when playing Dolphin)

Try the latest revisions. You can download them here: https://dolphin-emu.org/download/ 3.5 is pretty old at this point in time. Dolphin develops at a fast pace.

And, for the slowdowns, try to run Dolphin in a lowest screen resolution (high resolutions like the one you have can help with image quality, lower ones can help with the speed). You should also O.C. your CPU, if you are able to do that.

Also generally not possible except for a few exclusive mobile CPUs (for Intel at least, can't say what AMD does). With most mobile i5s and i7s, you'll want to rely on their Turbo Boost. Make sure you're Turbo Boosting with only two cores for optimal performance in Dolphin.
